Leap Year sounds just like another cliché romcom. But once I caught a glimpse of the leading man, my interest in seeing it doubled. I first fell in like with Matthew Goode after watching Match Point, where he played a hot tall good-looking guy. Great portrayal indeed! His role in Watchmen did not induce a full-blown crush, only because he was way too skinny and blonde (!). But his appearance in this new movie, am all over it! Tall, dark, and scruffy. My cup of tea times one hundred. It’s been a while since I actually felt the pang of a new celebrity crush…and I think Matthew Goode just changed that.
Ok, so it’s not Jake Sully aka Sam Worthington, it’s Jake Sully – the Na’vi alien. I have a thing for a blue cat-like alien. Don’t judge, he is very hot in the movie. Tall, lanky, muscular, blue…Have you seen Avatar yet?
I love Sasha Pivovarova! Not because she’s Russian like moi, but also because she’s a beautiful model, an artist and so much more! These Holiday ads are so much better because of her radiant smile, no? And the tall, dark, handsome and scruffy male model isn’t too bad either!
Unlike some celeb-wannabes whose only claim to fame is extraordinary fertility, Ed Norton is a movie star – a talented actor with great range, and also…a do-gooder! Someone who isn’t just wasting his money and star-power away on expensive cars and young women is so rare nowadays. And that’s one of the reasons I love Ed Norton. Other major reason is…he’s hot in that moody-artsy-sexy way. Definitely would take him over Brad Pitt any day. Pitt is so overrated! Sorry, Jo!
So if you haven’t heard yet, Norton participated in the New York Marathon last weekend, running with three Maasai warriors that he trained with in Africa, in support of the “the preservation of biodiversity within the Maasai tribal lands of East Africa by promoting conservation, education and health services within the Maasai community”. And not only did he finish the 26 mile race, he crossed the finish line in 3 hours, 48 minutes and 1 second! That’s an awesome result (took me 35 minutes to run 5K in the Run for the Cure)! Snaps for Ed Norton!
Happy Wednesday, everyone!

I must admit that part of the reason why I went to watch “Where the Wild Things Are” last weekend was…Mark Ruffalo. And while his time on screen was maybe all of 2 minutes, it still reminded me of how talented and how easy on the eyes he is! There are many other reasons why I adore Ruffalo, including the fact that he’s one of those rare Hollywood anomalies that stays out of scandals and has been happily married to the same woman for many years, he chooses his roles based on characters and not on the budget (except for that horrendous fail with Witherspoon, that shall not be named). He’s funny, cute, and charming. And even if he isn’t too “wild”, looking at his photos somehow makes my week just a little bit better! And I wish the same for you! Happy Wednesday, everyone!
Well, I completely forgot about Wednesday Candy yesterday! I guess this being a short week for Canadians, really did mess up my week a bit. Plus, it just didn’t feel like Wednesday. So today, let’s just pretend that it’s not Thursday, but the day before, ok? Ok!
This week’s Candy is Carlos Ponce. Unless you are a fan of Hispanic musicians, it’s likely that you only know him as the slimy yoga instructor with a hot bod from Couples Retreat. I, on the other hand, have always loved his songs, and was very surprised to see him showing off his comedic chops! I think he was pretty funny in the movie, and his acting didn’t make me cringe the way I cringe when Justin Timberlake acts. So if you are interested, I am sure you can find a few of his songs on iTunes…and believe me, his voice sounds as good as he looks!
When I saw Matthew Morrison singing this song on Glee last week, I fell in love a little. Obviously Kristin Chenoweth can sing…there’s no doubt about that! But Matthew, who is pretty much a Broadway veteran, but fairly unknown elsewhere…he’s a hottie and he can sing! Plus the song is so powerful, it gave me the chills! And apparently, Matthew has a super-duper hot bod under those geeky teacher clothes too! Which is why he gets the honor of being this week’s Wednesday Candy! Yes, the selection process is shallow, but it’s mid-week, I’ll take anything I can get to get through the week!
The cold weather is here, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get out of bed in the morning! And then I see photos of Patrick Dempsey wearing leather! Now imagine how hard it is for his wife to get out of bed in the morning! Ooh la la! Sorry for the apparent laziness as of late, a couple of Foodie posts are coming soon, as well as a post about cool new underwear that might just change your man’s life (or at the very least make it more comfortable)! Hope you’re having a great Wednesday, everyone!
Saw new photos of Clive Owen yesterday, and almost made him Wednesday Candy for the second week in a row. And then, I read a Lainey Gossip post about Colin Firth. If you love Colin, these twoarticles are mandatory. You have to read these…you’ll thank me (or Lainey) later. Was not able to watch the clip, in which Colin speaks Italian, but I’m sure it’ll make me drool with adoration.
It’s a bummer that I didn’t get to see him at TIFF this year. He didn’t show to the Dorian Gray premiere, and I missed The Single Man one. The way he wears his suits…it’s like he was made to wear them! The frame, the build – Colin is perfection in suits! And in my books, Colin Firth trumps Tom Ford any day. I’ll take witty over metro every time. What about witty metros, you ask? I prefer my men…manly, thank you very much!
This week’s Wednesday Candy is Gabriel Aubry. The guy is undeniably hot (he’s a model after all), but is also a doting father and a (seemingly) loving partner of the equally good-looking Halle Berry. They make such an adorable family, no? Their daughter Nahla is definitely blessed with an amazing gene pool. Lucky girl!
Everyone needs a little something-something to get them through the rest of the week! So here’s a little Will Chalker, just because! Don’t know about you, but I’m feeling much better!
